  Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackey at its time, right now for
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: today's word, heart over performance, Heart over performance. Matthew twenty
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: two thirty seven says Jesus said to him, you shall
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: love the Lord your God with all your heart, with
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: all your soul, and with all your mind. We all
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: have areas where we struggle. We make mistakes, we give
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: into temptation, we lose our temper, or we compromise when
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: we shouldn't. Often these failures weigh on us, and the
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: voices whisper you don't deserve God's favor. You failed again.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Just sit on the sidelines. But here's the truth. God
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: isn't measuring your words by your performance. He isn't looking
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: for perfection. He's looking at your heart. He sees the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: inner desire to love him. He sees your desire to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: honor him. He sees your desire to follow him. Even
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: when it's heard, your heart matters more than your perfect behavior.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Even if you stumble, if your heart is turned toward God,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: he still delights in you. He knows your weaknesses. Yet
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: he sees your willingness to love him, to seek him,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and to grow in him. His grace is sufficient for you.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: His grace covers our imperfections, His grace covers us, and
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: his faithfulness covers our failures. What God wants is a
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: heart that says, Lord, I love you. God wants a
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: heart that says, I may fail, but I choose you
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: every day. So today, focus less on how perfect your
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: performance is and more on keeping your heart aligned with God.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: He will meet you in your desire to love him,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and He will show himself strong in your life. Your commitment,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: even in the midst of struggles, is what opens the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: door to His blessings, his guidance, and his favor. Does
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: that give you an excuse to sin. Absolutely not. But
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: if you sin, like the word says, if you confess
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: your sins, he's faithful and He's just to forgive you
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: of your sin and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. Thank you,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Jesus Father. Thank you that you look at our hearts
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: rather than our performance. Thank you that even when we
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: stumble or fall short, you see our heart's desire to
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: love and to honor You. God. Help us to keep
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: our hearts focused on You, and to trust your strength
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: when we feel weak, and your guidance in every area
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of our lives. Oh God, we want to honor you
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: in all that we do in Jesus' name. Now that's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: your word for today. I want you to take that
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: apply that to your everyday life and you continue to
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: be in encouraged and inspired with your girl. Sherry Mackie
